深海沉积物声速对信号时-频特性的影响

声信号在海中传播时,海水介质下边界海底的声学特性对海中声信号的传播有着显著的影响。在声学研究领域及海洋学研究领域,国内外对浅海海底的物理参数及其声学特性已经获得了大量的研究结果。近年来国外对深海沉积物声学特性的研究日益重视。     

浅海声传播和混响的选频衰减

在强负跃层浅海的爆炸声实验中,发现当声源和接收器都位于跃层之上时,平均混响强度和某一航向的声传播损失在频率1000-2000Hz之间出现强烈的异常衰减现象,而且很有意思的是发射和接收均无指向性的平均混响强度的异常衰减与该航向声传播损失的异常衰减具有中心频率相同、带宽一致、附加衰减值相近的窄带共振或选频衰减特权.显然,这一异常衰减现象无法用各向异性的机理(内波、海面或海底的有规律起伏等)来解释.根据本文实验所得的传播损失和混响强度的深度结构以及一些间接的证据,我们认为这一选频附加衰减是由分散活动干跃居上部的有鳔鱼(极可能是鱼)所引起的.     

INFLUENCE OF SEDIMENT SOUND VELOCITY ON TIME-FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SIGNAL IN THE DEEP SEA

This paper uses acoustical method to obtain the sound speed structure information of the deep sea sediment. The time-frequency characteristics of the explosive sound signals in the deep sea are analysed by using the narrow-band filters, and the bottom-reflecting path and bottom-refracting path are separated in time domain. Based on the two kinds of selected bottom models the travel-time difference between the two paths mentioned above is calculated according to the ray theory, and simple analytical formulae are obtained. The bottom model, which is more suitable for the experimental area, is identified by comparing the theoretical with experimental travel-time differences versus range.
